Mirrors and Microparameters: Phrase Structure beyond Free Word Order - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Adger, David (Queen Mary University of London)
Drawing on data from Kiowa, a member of the largely undescribed Kiowa-Tanoan language family, this book reveals that classically nonconfigurational languages can nonetheless exhibit configurational effects. This approach challenges widespread assumptions of linguistic theory and throws light on the syntactic structures and ordering principles of Universal Grammar.
